As a working magician allow me to tell you that it is crap. Clear nylon is highly refractive and very visible even in a dimly lit club. Even the smoked version is junk, if you want to make IT then you need to find a matte black mono filament.

I think you mean reflective. It is also highly transparent, so it does not show up against clothing when you sew with it, hence the name "invisible". If you were paying attention, you would have noticed that I said it came from a knitting/sewing shop, not a magicians' supplier.

No reÂ·fracÂ·tion deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different If you where paying attention, this is about appearing to levitate with no apparent means "not" sewing. Oh, what exactly did I type that would be considered age inappropriate for somebody old enough to understand most of the information (or even 2%) on this site?

I sometimes forget that inoffensive idioms of my birth vernacular are more offensive when used elsewhere.

It's like holding doors open. In Cumberland, holding a door open for a woman is good manners. In Manchester it is sexist. In London it's a good way of getting stuck in the door as the next forty people try and push through the same open door.

Oh? Do explain exactly what profanity I used and how it is defined as a such. And yes I know I neglected to proof my last post and unfortunately the ability to edit is not given. Of course I have read other posts by you so technically the plural usage would apply, though it was not intended. Obviously when you made the failed attempt at correcting me and included your quip you where attempting to bait me into something other than the intended spirit of the instructable. I sunk and got hooked so reel me in and finish it. If you can.

Crap as it pertains to being a noun definition 2 sometimes vulgar : NONSENSE, RUBBISH; also : STUFF 4b So I guess I was not referring to feces. And I do get a smile using that word in that particular context, obfuscation is part of the job after all. ;-)

in britain or the US of A they sell "wooly nylon", buy that, and strip it (take one thin piece of string out) should work as good as professional magicians invisible thread (usually it's even the same thing)

You can also use old pantyhose. I use it in a pinch when I have no invisible thread. Also, an easier way to do this impromptu with any CD is to use magician's wax and attach it to the CD. Remember to wrap the thread around the wax several times so it doesn't come off.
